Research interests and background
My research focuses on problems in representation theory and algebraic geometry. I am particularly interested in the topology, geometry, and combinatorics of spaces naturally arising from representation theory. Recently I have been thinking about Bridgeland stability conditions on triangulated categories, and associated braid group actions. Specific topics of interest include Bridgeland stability conditions, perverse sheaves, quiver varieties, equivariant cohomology, and Bernstein–Sato polynomials.
My papers and preprints are on my research page. A CV is available here (pdf).

- Feb 2024: Winterbraids, Montpellier (mini-course)
I am was at one point rewriting the MSI LaTeX templates for exams using org-babel. It is very much a work in progress, but you can view the source code (at your own risk) in the Github repository.
